LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1838. The Church party, according to the o.l:Prd Herald, as qu oted by the. Times, asserts that " fanaticism implies 4 .11 °lv iedrre " and that the real cause of such ebullitions as th osee th at C an t er b ury i s " our b oun dl ess re li g i ous liberty." a t Party means, therefore, if we may rely on what its cr oup puts forth,to m a ke the Canterbury tragedy a pretext t c url) and prescribe the knowledge of the people, and to limit and restrain still more the imperfect religious liberty :" "joy. Such a course of conduct will be in fact the ne etsiry consequence of the position of the Church. The k ' ro gress of knowledge, and the extension of liberty are ali ke hostile to the Establishment, the members of which 4 Pe wall convinced that they must obtain a complete controul t ,Nr both, or see it destroyed by them. There is, to fact, an open and avowed war between the Cler• t,Y men of the Establishment and the progress of know- Nge, an 1 it is consistent with their principles to 4 cribe the fanaticism and enthusiasm of the Canterbury l 'asantry to knowle Ige and liberty. & recent number of the Quarterly Review contended that 1 1" e 'lucation of all the people should be placed in the hands of the Established Clergy, and was at pains to show how that, without much additional expense, could be accern- P l isi • • By the events at Canterbury, it has been made a pparent, that great danger is to be apprehended from the Moral condition of the peasantry ; and men of all classes a nd desc r i pt i ons c onnect that condition with the teaching (3 ' t he Clercs • We condemn them, the Tory prints say there is not Church hurch enough. At any rate , they arc held re sponsibl e for that condition, which is manifestly unjust, fi nless they a're to have a complete controul over the people. Their Position as a State-endowed Clergy, therefore drives them on, and compels them to acquire a mas tery over the whole knowledge of the people. Between that and boundless religious ]iberty—bewteen the voluntary 53 'stern and plaeing the whole education of the people tinder the controul of the state priesthood—between a perfectly free-trade in religion and a state monopoly pre zeribed to its minutest branch by the Establishment, we 4e o 11 0 possibility of a compromise. The two systems arc ' 0 fact now in conflict in the empire. The Voluntaries 4tr qgle fo r p er f ect f ree d om, the Establishment for a per f. e't monopoly ; and being thoroughly convinced that the established Clergy cannot and ought not for their credit 84 Ice to stop short of that, we are as hostile as possible to the present unon between Church and State which compels th " 10 to drive at establishing in every part of the land a • ilerFect and complete spiritual despotism. It IS singul a r enoug h th a t a ll th e examples quoted by t : t he Times and the Oxfoid Herald of fanaticism M in g th e o ff s p r i ng o f k now l e d ge an d re li g i ous liberty, n a i v e existed i n con j unc ti on w ith an Established o ' t "urch, an d t h ey m i ght have added a l ong str i ng o f nth 'Ts, beginning with the first race of fanatics ad l i tn e " appeared after CON STANTINE d ecree d Ch r i s tianity l a few a truth, and ending with the Pietists, in Silesia, who months ago were silenced and turned out of their Itir ehes by the King of PRUSSIA'S hussars. In fact, the least acquaintance with the philosophy of mind and the st "t3' of the world, teiches us that wild belief and claims , Hispirat ion must be and have been the offspring of : n ciranc e . The multitude of poetical fables which form the th 4l Y mythology of all the people who have ever lived is historical proof of the fact, while the moral dcmonstra ea, a 'l ' ows from the circumstance that the permanency and `hriability of the order of the physical world could not belearnt, whatever might be the precedent instinctive belief, fo r a l ong per i o d. It seems t o us th a t those wh o mos t oti r incul ca t e on th e present generation a belief in the a 4 culous i n t erru pti ons t o th e or d e r of nature which ; 111 "gst a ll t h e peop l e o f ant i qu i ty were , from their igno 411's, held to be common and frequent, are the chief ;11thers of such fanaticism as prevailed at Canterbury, and or that accurate knowledge is the only cure. If it l ' ii n g from any inherent love in the mind for the mar 414"hs, as t h e T unes an d Oxford herald would imply, it b }), 3' e doubt e d w h e th er th at can b e cur ed, or even lessened 4 " enactments whatever ; but, certainly, richly to en lia-\:; a prie s th oo d on l y s t rengt h ens f ana ticism by cupidity, add s the desire to get hold of the wealth set apart for l Th e cle rs.'v, to the many motives which cunning knaves -ye to practice on the credulity of mankind. Tithes are a tax levied by the power of the State, and ma 'n Ireland, levied at the point of the bayonet. In like t o ` ll 4er, Ch urc h- rates are a tax w hi c h t h e l aw com p e ls ° Is hmen to pay. For the imposition and the s-al"tenance of these taxes the Legislature is re it)nsible• Of course it is also re s pon s ible for all th e. doetrines, and for all their worldly effects, which o ', State-p a id c l ergy teac h.

Th e Ti mes an d ot h er i r Y Jour na l s t h un d er away cont i nua ll y aga i nst t h e doe n" of th e Romish priesthood, but with those doctrines to clothe, which is not responsible for them, has much less i on Irian with those taught by the tax-paid Clergy. As b y as a Church or a sec t i s no t p a t ron i se d nor p ro t ec t e d ti ah s th e State, it s d oc t r i nes may b e considered only in rela stat ; but th e i ns t an t it i s t a k en i n t o the p a y o f th e not the truth but the utility of its doctrines must be ' 4Bl ders th e a fr by Statesmen. They have to provide only for t r i o a a ns of this life, and must consider any religious doe es ' l 4 as it affects the public welfare. It is under thit single aspect that we speak of the subject, and nail on the Legislature to investigate the effect of the doctrines taught by the tax-paid Clergy to the people. We do not hesitate to say that we believe them, without the adjunct o!' physical knowledge, which the clergy keep from their flocls, and which the labouring classes have not time to acquire, to be most pernicious. and to be the source of a great many other evils besides that credulity which makes the poor easantry fall willingly into the trap of any cun ning knave. 'We repeat the expression of our ho.p that the Legislature and the public will not neglect on this oc casion to institute a strict investigation into the effect which the teaching or the paid priesthood has on the With no portion of the parliamentary labours of last week are we better satisfied than with the third reading, by the House of Commons on Wednesday night, of the Southampton Pier, or rather Commerclal Docks Bill. She situation of Southampton for a great commercial depot is not exceeded for safety and convenience by that of any other harbour on the coast of England. With a fine and extensive ancho age shut in, and sheltered from all storms by the Isle of Wight, and opening at once into the English Channel, with its central situation and facility of commu nication with nearly all the great inland towns of Englan 1 . and above all, by its railway intercourse with London which will place the cargoes of vessels arrived in its port actually nearer the metropolis than if they were half-way between the mouth of the Nore and Gravesend, Southamp ton must ultimately become a vast emporium of commercial traffic. The proximity of Southampton to the coast of France—the avoidance of the dangerous navigation of the Goodwin Sands, and the accidents insepar able from the navigation of a river crowded with the shipping of all nations, are advantages too ob vious and important to escape the attention of the mer chant and the ship-owner. The Docks which are now in the course of erection at Southampton, are on a scale of almost unequalled magnitude. The first to be finished will contain an area of water only one-fourth less than the largest London dock—an undertaking truly worthy of the enterprising Company who originated this vast commercial project. London will profit to a surprising extent by the commercial growth of Southampton. The Railway, when completed, will afford facilities for the transport of agricul tural produce from the country around Southampton, at one-third the expense at which it is now conveyed to this great mart of universal consumption. Equal faci lities, and equally cheap too, will enable the importers of produce of France and the West Indies to lower the price of all goods from those countries, and thus by the increase of consumption, which never fails to follow the lowering of price, increase their own profits and those of the pro ducers. We trust that a Bill, the object of which is to effect these great advantages—to make one of the finest harbours on our southern coasts available to the nation both as a naval and commercial depot, a mine of wealth in peace, and an impregnable fortress in war—will be allowed to pass through its several stages in the Upper Hottst without encountering any further opposition. The Dublin Pilot, indefaCgabla in its efforts to over throw the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland, has published an unanswerable article, a part of which we may give to-morrow. We, however, fear that in these days when a " do nothing" policy appears alone to be fashion able, and when compromises and conciliations, sacrificing the public good, are matters of daily occurrence, that the Irish Bank monopoly will, somewhat like the Irish Church and corrupt corporations, be suffered to remain in state quo. The Evening Past is considered the organ of the Government, and it would seem that Mr. SHIEL also arida to the distinction, by giving it the soubriquet of the Ch'of Justice of the Press, attempts, in a paragraph in which the quaintness of COBBETT is mingled with a Falstaff species of argument, to set up a sort of defence far an esta blishment which no rational individual has the indecency to defend, but we shall give the " gem of this Irish Jour nalist" itself : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. " Will you, as great public instructor, and, as your friend Sheil says, Chief Justice of the public Pi eis, be so good as you know all things, to tell your puzzled public, why the Bank of Ireland charges a higher dis count than the Bank of England, or why the man in Belfast can get a bill more cheaply done than the man in Dame-street ? " DISCOUNTEE." Though we wish to be learned in all things, or, at least, to appear so— though we can, of course, give reasons, or, at least, can afFect to give them, we shall not, were they as plentiful as blackberries, give any on compulsion. Our correspondent is too brusque. But if he will conde scend to be civil, perhaps we may tell him, some of these fine afternoons. Its the meantime, we would just hint that the Rank of Ireland is a corn. mercial establishment—that it has various duties, and, amongst the rest, the duty of taking care of the interests of the proprietors of bank stock. Now, one per cent. above the imperial measure of discount Is so far all gai n—arga/. Have we answered Discounte.i? Not satisfactorily, perhaps. For he will maintain that the Bank of Ireland has an exclusive charter, and being, pro tnnto, a monopoly, that its operations are unjust, as far as the interests of the communitf are concerned—which interests are, in this regard, at right angles with those of the strkholders. He may say what he pleases. For our own parts we are of Bentham's opinion, and are, therefore, advocates for usury. It seems that the Post will, like an honest, best public instructor, enter into the question of the Bank of Ireland Monopoly, with the view of enlightening its Correspondent " one of these fine afternoons ; " we are only sorry that it has not waived any point concerning its own importance, and done so without any delay. As to what the Post says, touching its attachment to the theory of BENTHAM, we have no objection to urge ; but if that philosopher whose disciple the Irish Journalist is willing to be accounted, ad vocated usury, was he not also the champion of free trade in money, as well as in every other article of commerce. It is truly melancholy upon a great question of this kind to behold the majority of the Irish Metropolitan Journals ob serving a death-like silence, or only alluding to it in a penny trumpet" strain, for the purpose, if possible, of sustaining the grievance. We can tell the people of Dub lin, that if they do not come forward, they will be suf ferers from this monopoly for at least another quarter of a century. German and Brussels papers, of the latest dates, have retched us this morning, from which we select the follow ing extracts : BERLIN, JUNE 4.—The Emperor of Russia and the Crown Prince, his son, sets out for Potsdam immediately after the fete at M. de Re bcaupierre's. Most of the other distinguished visitors are also gone to Potsdam. The Imperial family will certa lily set out for Silesia about the 10th or 12th. Our King will soon afterwards go to Silesia with the Princes. We hear that the Grand Duke Alexander had expressed a decided predeliction for the eldest Princess of Wurtemberg, who will one day have the happiness of being Empress of all the Russias. The King and Queen of Hanover have set out for Hanover, the King of Wurtemberg and his two daughters for Stuttguard, and many other visitors hare likewise left us. The King has given the order of the Black Eagle to the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and Prince George of Hanover, and to Prince Augustus of Wurtemberg. EIELGIAN UN'DS—Bau3sEt.B, JUNE 9.

Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 2d inst., have been received. The Gazette of that date officially contra dicts the rumour that Ciudad Real had been taken by the Carlists. It had been attacked on the 29th, but the gar rison, after sustaining - a loss of twenty men, put the rebels to flight. The Cortes have refused permission to the Crown to prosecute M. MENDIZABAL, ro7 the publication of cer tain documents relative to the office of Finance Minister. The Tithe Bill was under discussion, in the Chamber of Deputies, on the 2d instant. The Paris papers of Friday an i Saturday announce the continuance of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the African question. In the list of the orators of Friday ORIENTA I. STATE. and Saturday we find General BUGEAUD, MM. GUIZOT, JAURERT, BEUYEr, MOLE, PASSY, MAUGUIN, and MON TALIVET, but in the speeches of none of them can we dis cover an argument either for or against the measure differing in substance from those advanced on Wednesday and Thurs day. The g2neral impression appeared to be, that not withstanding the length o`' the debate, the Ministerial grant would be voted by a large majority. The ce!ebrated Duchess of ABRANTES expired on Fri day morning, at her residence in Paris, after an illness of only a few hours' duration. On Saturday, M. DE BARANTE delivered, in the Cham ber of Peers, the funeral oration of Prince TALLEYRAND. The Committee of the Chamber of Peers presented its Report on the Five per Cent. Reduction Bill on Saturday, As we predicted, it is wholly unfavourable to the measure. The Bill has therefore no chance of passing the Upper Chamber this Session. It is positively asserted that the Duke of NEMOURS will he present at the Coronation of Queen VICTORIA. His Royal Highness, accompanied by two Aides-de-Camp, is to leave Paris for London on the 19th instant. Advices from Alexandria state that MAHOMET ALI has informed the Consuls of England and France, that all ar rears of tribute due to the Porte would be forthwith p a id, and every care taken on the part of the Viceroy to live i n amity with the SULTAN. We have the following letter from Algiers, June 2 :—" Some Arabs who have come from the interior have announced that Abdel Bader is gone to the frontiers of Morocco, where he is to hare an interview with the Emperor, and with an Envoy from the Sultan. This news, if it should be correct, is certainly important. Turkey seems to intend to engage in its interest the Bey of Tunis, the Emperor of Morocco, and Abdel Kader. A letter from Metiof the 4th June says :—" It seems thilt the Army of Observation collected in our neighbourhood will shortly break up. It was affirmed yesterday that the two battalions of the fourteen regiments of the line now at Metz are to leave this garrison in four clays, and march to Paris, where they will be joined by the 3d battalion which had re mained at Phalsbourg."—Constic'utiorzue/. Letters from Jaca of the 4th of June say, that both parties were preparing for an action, and even that a cannonade was already heard. At Saragossa the officers of the Foreign Legion went in procession on the `l,l of June to place a stone on the tomb of Brigadier General Conrad, that being the anniversary of his death after the battle of Barbastro.— Journal de Commerce.

A meeting of the friends of the Ministers was held this day at the Forelgn-office, which was numerously attended. The parties remained together a considerable time, and all that was suffered to transpire is that the course proposed by the Ministers met with ap probatied, and the meeting concluded very harmoniously. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) This morning the avenues leading to Union Hall Police-office were densely crowded in consequence of its being known that the man Hub bard, who cohabited with the unfortunate woman, was in custody, and about to be examined by the magistrate on the capital charge. It ap. pears that since the finding of the Coroner's Jury, in which their verdict in some degree exculpates Hubbard, a gentleman, whose name did not in the course of the morning transpire, left a communication with Jr,P Okey, landlord of the Hero of Waterloo, i❑ the Waterloo-road, tel dressed to Mr. Carttar, the Coroner, and in which the writer announces that he accompanied the deceased home from the Strand Theatre on the night of the murder, and while he was in bed with her a man answering Hubbard's de;cription entered the room in a violent rage, and after using very strong language, turned the writer with force out of the house into the road; that in the scuffle that arose during those proceedings, the man frequently ejaculated, that the deceased was his wife, and upbraided her for daring to bring a stranger to her bed. The gentlema❑ adds that he left his gloveS behind him in the height of the confusion that took place—a fact which is fully confirmed by Inspector Field, who found a pair in the room, the morning of the discovery of the murder. The writer concludes, that he had hoped sufficient would have transpired before the Coroner's Jury to have implicated Hubbard, and rendered it unnecessary for him to have come forward ; but that not having turned out to be the case, he considers justice demands his appearance. As soon as Mr. Carttar received this communication, he forwarded it to Mr. Griusell, the Superintendant of the Police, who lost no time in waiting upon the Commissioners to re ceive instructions. The result was, that Hubbard was apprehended at tvo o'clock this morning, at his brother's, in the neighbourhood of the Borough, and conveyed to the station-house in Tower.street, Lambeth, from which place it was intended to convey him this morning to Union-hal!, but, at the desire of the Magistrates, his removal was delayed until a late hour, in consequence of the immense crowd of per. sons round the office, the report of his apprehension having spread far and wide. Hubbard, it seems, quitted the scene of the horrid affair (No. 12, Waterloo-terrace), immediately after the terminrtion of the Coroner's Inquest on Friday; and on seeing Inspector Field this morn ing he expressed considerable surprise, and said " He thought he was exonerated from the charge by the verdict of the Coroner's Jury." It is rather extraordinary, that since H•:bbard's apprehension his conduct has been strangely altered; he now preoerves the greatest coolness. Mile the inquiry was pending before the Coroner he continued in a ssate of mind bordering upon madness. The prisoner's examination when our reporter left Union Hall, was looked forward to with the most intense interest. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock. William Johnson was objected to on the ground of having lost his qualification. Philip Payne examined by Mr. CocKnunx—l let William Johnson a house on the 2Gth August last, belonging to my uncle. He left it on the .6th May. He came there from a house belonging to Marget. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—I know nothing about Marget's loose since August. I did not see him remove. Vote struck off. John Prior was objected to on the ground of insufficient value. Charles Richard Wilkes, examined by Mr. AusTEN—I am overseer of Woodstock. The last rate has been made on the new assessment, under the order of the Poor.law Commissioners. (Rates produced.) The rate of the 22d June, 1837, is under the old system, and Prior is assessed under that rate at 3! 10s. Mr. Williams made the assessment for the new rate on the new principle. It was allowed on the 2.2 d Dec. last. Prior is rated there at 8/. The gross estimated rental there is 81., and the rateable value 6!. 10. Cross examined by Mr. TITESSIGER—i know netbing about theprin. cip:e on which the rate is made. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court was occupied the whole morning with this case, which came before the Court upon motion on behalf of the Merthyr Tidvill and Tar Railµ•ay Company, for the purpose of obtaining the dissolu tion of an injunction granted exparte, restraining the Company from proceeding to summon a jury to assess the value of certain land belong ing to the noble plaintiff; over which it was necessary to carry the Railway. The arguments had not concluded when our Reporter left. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) VIVIAN V. lIUMPARIAS, Mr. Sergeant Bomeas appeared in Court this morning to reply to the arguments that had bees urged on this motion, but as the Learned Ser geant stated that he was exceedingly unwell, the Master of the Rolls was kind enough to say he would bear it on Monday next. The LEARNED SERGEANT thanked his Lordship for the indulgence, but said that rather than inconvenience his Lordship, or any of his Learned Ftiends, he wou:d at once proceed, whatever pain it might oc. caEion him. The MAsTEtt cf the ROLLS wuu'd not permit him to go on, and Mon. day next was therefore fixed for the reply. -- • ------ LYRE V. MARSDEN. Mr. KINnEastEY then replied in this ease, and the Master of the Rolls stated he should give judgment on a future day. flis Loansitte was obliged to rise at half-past twelve o'clock, being unable lo procure the attendance of Counsel to proceed with motions.

This was an application on the part of Thuriston and Anor, Trustees to an estate in Staffordshire, for a rule to compel Mr. Wood, en Attor ney and co-Trustee, to go before the Master and produce his accounts.

The judgment therefore was that tlfe defendant was entitled to a non pros. STEWART V. ABERDEEN. The defendant in this case bad entered into a policy of insurance upon the Prow Elizabeth, which being lost, he became debtor to the a mount• of 071 its. Bd., for which the action was brought. The de fendant pleaded—first, That Douglas, Anderson, and Co. were autho rised by the plaintiff to settle the loss which had arisen, and that they were indebted to the defendant in a larger sum than that claimed, and t h at he (defendant) had settled the claim, by setting off the sum against t h e debt due by Douglas, Anderson, and Co. ; and, secondly, That a cus tom existed amongst insurance brokers so to settle, of which custom the plaintiff had knowledge at the trial. The Jury found for the defendant. A new trial was moved for, granted, and argued, upon the ground that the plaintiff had no such knowledge, and that the Lord Chief Baron had misdirected the Jury as to the effect of a letter which was put in evidence at th e t r i al. A po i nt was also ra i sed in the argument whether there had bee n any settlement between the brokers and the defendant. The Come T were of opinion that there was evidence of a settlement, anti that there had been no misdirection; and further ; that even had the custom not been proved, and had it not been shown that the plaintiff had kncwledge of it, yet the verdict had been properly given, as there, at all events, had be charged. been abundant evidence to support the first plea.—Rule ells. The Magi s t rates o f Westminster have resolved to tit up the Guildhall, opposite Westminster Abbey, for the use of them selves and their families, on the day of the Coronation, and it is antici pated, from the manner in which the Magistrates fitted up the Guildhall on the Coronation of George the 4th, that it wi ll add much to th e effect of the su rrounding sc:.ne.

CORN EXCHANGE The arrivals of English Grain and Flour last week were moderate, and of Oats from Ireland considerable. The trade remained as previ ously reported. This scorning the fresh supplies of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease are small, but there are several more vessels arrived from Ireland with Oats. The millers being in want of fine Wheat pur chased such readily ; and !lie quantity being small, an advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. on last Monday's rates was obtained. Barley remains firm at previous quotations. Beans maintain the terms of this day se'nnight. Boiling Pease are dull at last quoted prices. Grey Pease have sold at the rates of last +londay.

At noon the Prince received in the Pa'ace the Ministers, foreign Ambassadors, officers of the garrison, and Members of the Assembly of the Estates. The latter were presented to his Royal Highness by the Hereditary MarAal, who delivered a congratulatory address." MAXIM OF THE KING OF SAXONY.—It was the King of Saxony whom I first heard utter a phrase, which has since often bee❑ quoted, and which will portray the moral feeling of the man, viz.:—" Probity and truth arc the best finesses in politics." The Emperor Napoleon, who revered the King of Saxony as a father, often repeated the above words, without perhaps pl . :cing faith in them, but a tribute of admiration to a beautiful and noble idea.—ilecollections of Caulincourt, Duke of Vicenza. SCENE AT THE TUILERIES ON THE RETURN FROM ELBA.—It was a curious thing to find in the saloons of the Tuileries the greater number of those persons who had deserted the saloons at Fontainebleau. Almost all the old ministers, almost all the marshals, thronged around the Emperor. Apart I reflected that in many circumstances impudence supplies the place of an impossible justi fication. I looked at the countenance of Napoleon; there was a cloud of disdain in its expression, yet his tongue uttered nothing but kind words. His theme had been prepared—he had forgotten that which he could not pardon.--Recollections of Caulinc. urt, Duke of Vicenza. SIIOCKING ACCIDENT.—A farrier, who had been shot ing a horse, was on Tuesday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, taking the animal home, when in passing along Little Russell. street, Covent-garden, it proved restive, and ran with great violence a;ainst the lamp-post at the corner of the street, opposite the Shako peare's Head public house ; the man was thrown off, and received a very severe end dangerous fracture of the temporal bone; the horse then fell on the unfortunate mats, and he was almost crushed to death. In this dreadful condition he was taken to the house of Mr. Lane, sur_ germ, of Drury-lan,, and from thence to the hospital, where he lics without hope of recovery. GEORGE 111 AND LORD ELDoN.—One day when the King had given an audience to the Chancellor, and the latter was about to retire, his Majesty said, " Give my remembrance to Lady Eldon." The Chancellor acknowledged the compliment, and intimated that he was ignorant of Lady Eldon's claims to such a notice. " Yes, yes," answered the King, " I know how much I owe to Lady Eldon ; I know that you would have made yourself a country curate, : - .nd that she has made you my Lord Chancellor."—lf ilberforce's Life. BITING A MAN'S THUMB OFF.—Au assault unequalled for beastly ferocity, was committed at Clunton, in the parish of Llanvair Waterdine, in this county last week. Two men, named Mantle and Cadwallader, having a dispute, agreed to decide their dif. ference by a battle, and had fought several rounds, when suddenly Mantle seized the thumb of his antagonist in his mouth, and bit it completely off, close to the hand ! The poor sufferer was brought to our Infirmary ; and Mantle is committed to Gaol for trial—Shrewsbuty Chronicle. HONESTY REWARDED.-Oil Wednesday after noon a gentleman, who had just arrived from Boulogne, came to Bow-street office for assistance, to enable him to recover a large sum of money which he had left in a purse on the seat of a hackney-coach, with the number of which he was wholly unacquiCnted. The gentleman said he hired a coach that day to convey a lady and himself from Port man.stroet, Oxford-street, to Camden-town, and having been set down at the latter place, he discharged the coach, and did not recollect until some time after that he had taken out his purse while in the coach, and left it on the scat when he got out. The purse con. tained 270/. in Bank of England notes and eight sovereigns. He procured the assistance of Goddard, the officer, to whom, however, he cou'd afford no other information than a general description of the coach and driver. The officer proceeded, acoompanied by the gentle man, to the turnpike through which the coach had passed on its way to Camden_town, and it fortunate!y happened that the man in charge o the gate remembered the coach as it went through, and had taken the number (1,1 0 5), in order to charge a second toll, should it return with another fare. Goddard next proceeded to several coach stands in search of the vehicle in question, but without effect; and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that a waterrean at the stand near Trafalgar-square, who knew the coach No. 1,125, said that the owner lived somewhire in the Edgeware-road, to which place the officer and gentleman proceeded without delay, and after a long search they succeeded in tracing both the coach and its driver, when the latter, upon being questioned respecting the purse and money, declared at once that he found them in the coach atter he had set down the lady and gentleman at Camden-town, adding, that it was his intention to de posit the money at the office in Somerset House on the following (lay, in order that it might be restored to the owner. He then produced the purse, containing the exact sum which the gentleman had placed in it ; and the latter, to show the sense which he entertained of the man's honesty, presented him with 25/., in addition to which he gave 51. to the owner of the coach, for the willin_ness which he showed to assist the in quiries of the officer. - I'RANCIS, EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.—He was not so unintellectual a man as he had been represented. In ordinary times the Emperor Francis would have been ,one of those Sovereigns whose subjects would have invoked blessings on their memory. In the critical circumstances in which he was placed, saarrounded as it were by a general conflagration, he had not sufficient courage to make himself responsible for the consequences which might result to his country by the maintenance of his family compact with Napoleon. Francis was amiable, kind-hearted, and benevolent; but there was not in his nature one spark of courage, energy, or heroism. The great Maria Theresa is to the House of Austria what Henry IV. is to the "'louse of France—a splendid tradition. The blood of these great Monarchs does not flow in theveins of their descendants. There is a remarkable degeneration in Royal families. lam aware that this opinion will be pronounced by cer tain persons to be a democratic bontade ; but t hat will not disprove the fact. —Recollections of Caulincourt, Duke of Yikenza. ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICI.I.—A Committee of distinguished officers of artillery, consisting of Colonel Sir John May, Major Hardinge, Major Chalmers, and ethers, was appointed by the Board of Ordnance to examine Mr. Pearson's Patent Retarder, in order to ascertain its applicability to artillery carriages. :Sir. Pearson waited on the Committee on Friday, according to , order, at the arsenal, accompanied by Mr. Joseph Crouchcr, John Arueerson, Esq., and other gentlemen, who received from them the most marked urbanity, conde. scension, and kindness. The Committee were pleased to express their admiration of the invention, as applicable to the mails, stages, mid other carriages. The official report we shall not anticipae4; but wait its official course to Mr. Pearson. On Mr. Pearson's retwrot from Woolwich a good deal of curiosity was excited at the manner M. which the vehicle to which the Retarder was attached descended the steep hill from the Green Man, Blackheath, to the Clock-house in Deptford. To gratify the public, Mr. Pearson returned to the Green Man, and with his coach loaded with nearly fifty persons, descended the hill without horses, hav ing no other power to regulate the speed than the Retarder, which brought them down in perfect safety. The experiment was repeated a second time with equal success, amidst the congratulations of several coach proprietors and Mr. Passmore, who twice descended the hill on the coach. We cannot conceive why the Government mail-coach de. partment should hesitate to adopt this useful invention, as it is clear to our minds that time, safety, decrease of expense, is secured to every public vehicle by its adoption. When Mr. Pearson receives the Ord nance Report, we shall have much satisfaction in again giving publicity to the merits of so valuable an invention for the public. ELIZA FENNlNG.—Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth of Eliza Fenning, who was born June 10, 1793, in the Island of Dominica, and departed this life by the hands of the executioner, July 1815, a lamented victim of legal tyranny. Eliza ' , dining's I name still shall live, although she be nu m b ere d w i t h t h e dead. INTERESTING TO SIIIPOWNERS.-A maritime gentleman in a company the other day lamenting the leaky state of his vessel on his last voyage, and saying that the crew were almost inces santly employed at the pumps during the whole passage home, was asked, with much shnp'icity, by a country friend present, if he did not think it would be a good pi' to "tile.drain her!" YARNOUTH, THUaSDAY, JUNE 7. Among the most extraordinary occurrences which have transpired lit this town fur many yea"rs, the number of suicides and attempts at suicide that have been made wi,thin the last fortnight exceed any thing on record, in the annals of English history, in such a population; during to short a period. Scarcely mo,-e than a fortnight ago, a youth named Cook, about eighteen years of age,. destroyed himself by taking a certain poison called strychnine. The jyry adjourned twice on the Inquest, and it was not till after six hours deliber•ation that they came to their ver. diet " That the deceased destroyed himself by taking strychnine, but at the time was in a state of derangeme.lt. On Saturday last, a second Inquest was held at the White Horse Inn, before William Smith Ferrier, Esq., coroner of the Borough, on the body of James Edmund Gotilti; who had siestrved himself an the :revious Thursday afternoon. Thomas French being sworn, said that being at work, near I%:rs. Goftin's house, and hearing her shriek, he ran into her house, w h en h e ‘,."as shown into a cork house adjoining, and on opening Me door saw the deceased hanging by a small piece of rope fastened to a rafter, and round the neck of de:teased, who was quite dead. This wag at half_past three r' , N. James Goflin, ti:e father of deceased, deposed that deceased di ne d with him, and left the house about .5 quarter before two th a t after noon ; that he took his djnner as usual, Vit had some appearance of being displeased, but not so much so as to excite .any remarks at the time. He was fourteen years of age last: January ; has no female acquainta nce; had been regular in his habits, and circunispec.t in ;. , is cosidnct. James Burman, the elder, cork-cutter, deposed, that deceased was his apprentice, spoke of his conduct as being extremely good, and he had observed no alteration in him of late. Nothing furthe.' was adduced to throw any light on the cause of deceased destroying lihn.self. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. On Monday a third inquest was held before the same coroner, on the body of Mary Panchen, who was found hanging by the neck from a beam in her father's washhouse on Sunday morning la it, between the hours of e:sht and nine o'clock. A. M. Having stun. atoned a highly.respectable Jury, the Coroner addressed them previolus to the examination of the witnesses, as follows :—" Gentlemen of the Jury, it is really quite with pain that in the discharge of my duty, I am called upon to summon a Jury foe the third tune within ten days, to bold an inquisition on a case of self murder. I think it is hardly ten days ago that the first case occurred ; the second' on Thursday last, and the third yesterday. Permit me, Gentlemen of the Jury, to request you to consider this case most seriously, for unless it be proved that the sui. dial act, if such it be proved to be, was committed in .'n unsound state of mind, I hold it to be your duty to carry out the law In 101, for the purpose of deterring others from the commission of so dreadful. , crime." George Utting Panchen, brother of the deceased, deposed that the deceased was as usual when he went to bed on the Saturday evening about 11 o'Clock and that on the Sunday morning he was alarmed by his father calling to him and saOtg, " My lad, here's unpleasant news for you, I'm afraid poor Mary ha., bung herself," He itionediatelr, without dressing ran down Plaits into' the washhouse and cut down the deceased, but he was so excited that 1..9 could not say whether she was cold or not. Deceased was in her 29th War, and lived at home with her father who was in ill health, and had done' so since the death of her mother which occurred about 16 or 18 Inenti:ss ago. He did not know whether she had any property, the loss of which' might lead to the fatal act. She had no acquaintance to whom she expec,'ed to be married; she had been in a low way since the death of her soother ; .had observed her to be more depressed than usual of late. The investigation occupied about three hours, when the Jury were unanimous in their verdict, " That the deceased destroyed hCrsell in a state of Temporary Insanity." . _ During the last few days, a boy named Blake, also attemptek' to de stroy himself by hanging, but was fortunately cut down before lift ' was extinct. And a female in low circumstances made an attempt by taking a quantity of laudanum, which being discovered was removed by means-of the stomach-pump, and she has since been placed under the care of the Matron of the workhouse. The town is tilled with reports' of other al.,' tempts, but we believe them to be altogether unfounded. Long accounts appear weekly in the country papers of the public proceedings of the Teetotallers; from these reports we should suppose that out of London no fermented beverage ever :bids its way to the mouth of man. _ On Thursday evening, between nine and tc.l o'clock, as a young lad, about sixteen years of age, named James Coleby; residing In Great Pulteney-street, Golden-square, was crossing Coventry'-street, Haymarket, he was knocked down by a man on horseback, and tra. iipled on in a shocking manner. On being lifted from the ground he ',re sented a most deplorable spectacle, and was removed in an apparenNY hopeless state to the hospital. The horse was ridden by a groom in dark livery, and in the confusion, we are sorry to say, he made his escape. CORONATION.-We very much regret the aban donment of the intention of giving a general feast to all the poor of this city as first intended on the Coronation-day, and we cannot but. think that Exeter will receive a lasting stigma on its loyalty in conse quence. There is also another ground on which we arc sorry for this determination; the greatest portion of the poor will be quite unprovided for. In the large parish of St. Mary Major, which we understand con. tains more than 2,000, thera is no chance of atibrding ev s tm an extra _ _ hat of bread on that day, it the exertions which the parhbiorvrs of that parish have just commenced, by seeking subscriptions among the more wealthy of other parishcs, is net met in a way to enable them to t do it.— IVestern Times. THE OLDEST APPLE IN DEvoN.----There is mow in the possession of Mr. Daniel Hervey, residing in the parish of Ex. - - rninster, an apple which was grown in St. Sidwell's, in the year I787:1 It was presented by the father of the possessor to his grandson on his christening in the May following. It was grown in a bottle—the bottle being fastened to the branch, and closely scaled as soon as it was cut. It is now as fresh as ever, and may be seen by any ens who will call on Mr. Daniel Harvey.— Western Times. CORN RETURN.—From a Parliamentry Return just published, it appears that there was taken out of bond far home consumption in 1837, 210,000 qrs. of foreign wheat, 47,000 qrs. barley, 334,000 qrs. cats, 19,500 qrs. rye, 87,000 qrs. pease, 109,000 qrs. beans. To this must be added 22,500 qrs. colonial wheat, and sonic trifling quantities of Buck wheat, Indian corn, &e. The average duty paid on the wheat was about 295. ; on the barley 9s. ; on oats 10s.; on pease 10s. ;on the beans Is. The suits which these duties yielded to the revenue was about 600,0001. The foreign and colonial wheat, barley, and oats brought into the market were equal to about four days' consumption of the country. The grain of all kinds, including pease and beans, remaining in the warehouse on the Ist of January last, was 925,000 qrs. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. J. Kettle and Mr. Lo , ibond, considerable Somersetshire eattle.dealers, arrived at Devon_ port on Sunday last, in order to cross over to the cattle fair at St. Ger man's on the following day. They hired a boat at North Corner of a waterman, who accompanied them, and in crossing, the boat struck on some sand banks in St. German's river, and immediately titled and sank. It was blowing very fresh at the time, and all three perished. Mr. Kettle was about 50 years of age, and his companion 25. On the per. son of the former was found the sum of 5231., and on the latter 3257., in gold and batik notes. The accident is attributed to the crankness of the boat. Sir. Kettle and Mr. Lovihond were frequent attendants at. the Bristol Cattle Market, and were universally respected by the graziers a id farmers.—Bristol Gazelle. While the sawyers employed at Newburgh, (Scot land) were lately engaged in cutting up an elm tree, they found in a hol. low in the centre of it a bird's nest, with two eggs, apparently a robin's. The tree was at least eighty years old, and was four Oct in circumfc. rence at the top, and about seven feet at the root end. The bloom of plums and cherries is this ,vear un usually abundant ; but fears are entertained that much of thc,cxpected crop will be cut ow by the late unseasonable cold weather. In consequence of the prevalence of the small-pox in Cirencester, a general vaccination has been resolved on, and is ncow in progress. .A new-made " J.P" a few days ago, found himself in a sad quandary as to the exact nature of his judgment in a case of as sault, brought by one posse of recently imported Emeridders against an equal number ,a Boys of somewhat longer standing in this county. la his distress, he applied for advice to an experienced Brother of the Bench, but who was right jealous of the rising fame of his n.,w coadiu ter, and instead of giving his friend directions how to proceed, soolly remarked that he would find the moral law,—which ought to srcide every Justice of the Peace—clearly laid down by Moses in the Ten Ces.l. mands. " Verra true," drily observed the newly-fledged Justice, " tor( Moses wasna, like me, fashed wi' a parcel of Eerishmen."--G/asg,oser Courier. The Tories of Manchester, hating everything likely to advance the cause of popular institutions, are resisting by all the means in their power the proposed incorporation of that opulent and extensive borough. The Commissioners of Inquiry nominated by the Crown are at present there, pursuing their investigation. On Friday morning, about two o'clock, the inhabi tants in the neighbourhood of Pancras.road were alarmed by a cry of " Fire:" which was found to proceed from the house Ni. 7, Pancras. place, which was burning with great violence, threatening destruction to the entire row of houses. About half sin hour atter the alarm several engines arrived, and a ',Willful supply of water having been uhtained, the firereen succeeded in confining the flames to the house in whicb the lire commenced; but net before, we regret to add, human life had b.ner , sacrificed. The house, which was filled with working people, contained 22 inhabitants, and two children were burnt to death in their beds. The bodies of the unfortunate children were, in the course of the morning, dug out of the ruins, to await the Coroner's inquest. Mr. Fector has again intimated to the independent freemen and electors of the borough of Maidstone, that he is desirous to recover his seat in the House of Commons as their representative. He thus commences his address :—" Circumstances to which I shall /lot now more particularly allude, have compelled roe to become again a candidate," &c. A less modest gentleman than Mr. Fector might have been inclined to gtoze over such circumstances without the slightest al lusion ; but how candid it is in the late Member for Maidstone to allude to them at all, though he does so mote particularly. We cannot, how ever, see the how or the why the unmentionable circumstances ought. to compel him again to run the hazard of placing himself in similar circumstances ; therefore it might be well for him to consider whether it might not be more prudent and expedient, both in himself and his agents, to steer clear of all such circumstances to which particular allu. sion cannot be made conveniently at any time —Dover Chronicle. Extract of a letter from Warsaw of the 21st : " Last week the towns of Tyschowce, Lentschna, and Kejowitz, in the Government of Lublin, were destroyed by fire. Three days after these conflagrations the Palacc of Prince Adam Wroniczki, in the environs of the last-named town, was in flames, and burnt with such rapidity that the fimily had great difficulty in effecting their escape." Boston is by far the most literary town of the United States; by some persons it is called the " American Edinburgh," by others the " American Athens;" but its more general appellation is '• the city of notions." ALEXANDER'S FRIEN,DSIIIP FOR NAPOLEON.-- In one of my last interviews with the Emperor of Russia, he said to lac. " Tell the Emperor Napoleon that I will not separate from him unless he force me to do so. My friendship for him is so sincere that I cantot withdraw it." This was absolutely true: Alexander cherished for Na. poleon a passionate friendship—an enthusiastic admiration.—kecullce. tions of Caulincourt, Duke of Vicenza. TUIIBOT.—\Ve believe there never was so many turbot caught on this ecast as have been caught this season. On Saturday week, they were so abundant in the market, that one of not less than 31 feet in length, and of excellent quality, could have been freely purchased for one shilling!—.lbcrdeen Herald. On Thursday evening last, whilst a servant girl was engaged in making a t! mposition of bee's.wax and turpentine, by 3 otre means the ingredient s took tire, and the flames communicated with her dress. She immediately ran into the street, where some men who were passing hastened to het assistance, and taking off their coats, which they wrapped around her, sm c , eded in extinguishing the flames. On being conveyed to the East Suffiik Hospital, she was found to be burned in a most shocking manner—her arms were literally black—and so intense was the fire, that the Crops ef her car-rings wereburnt off. Every possi.. hi, attention was pa d to the wretched sufferer ; but, we regret to add, that she lies with little hopes of recovery.—S? ilk Chronic*. Heavy rains have fallen here (Inverness) during the last and praseut week, accompanied with thunder. On Sunday the thunder was much heard on the West coast, and on the same and fol lowing day it was a :dible in Inverness.
